The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requests the approval of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a revision and extension of the existing collection of information under OMB Control Number 0648-0328 for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Recreational Landings and Bluefin Tuna Catch Reports. The revision to this information collection package is due to modifications to the HMS reporting requirements that are being implemented by a proposed electronic reporting rulemaking (RIN 0648- BM23) and changes being implemented to the Maryland and North Carolina HMS catch card programs. The proposed electronic reporting rulemaking will modify several information collection requests (ICR), but its only modification to this ICR will be the removal of phone reporting as an option for HMS recreational landings and bluefin tuna catch reports, such that HMS permit holders will be required to use one of the existing electronic reporting options for their catch reports. This ICR is also being modified to reflect the state of Maryland’s decision to transfer their state catch card program to an electronic format, and eliminate the requirement to place a fish tag on their catch, which will significantly reduce the time per response. Additionally, the State of North Carolina has decided to discontinue their state catch card program effective in April 2025, which will necessitate HMS permit holders to shift to using the existing Federal reporting options for their HMS catch reports. This ICR has been revised to reflect that shift in reporting burden.
